Matt - thanks. looks like i will go for a Mariner with remote shift as this fits in the locker.

I'm putting my boat together for the 1st time. The rudder comes with 3 small blocks - how are these fixed to the rudder?

I've not sailed an IF Boat before so this will be 1st season with Elpenor. The previous owner used an outboard on a bracket but I would prefer to use the lazerette. However size seems to restrict me to about 6hp - is this a big enough engine - I will be sailing in tidal waters.
